The Verzasca Dam - PHOTOGRAPHER COMMENT

This 220 metre high Dam, also known as the Contra Dam, is the fourth highest in Switzerland, and forms the Lago di Vorgorno before flowing into Lago Maggiore at Locarno.
It became famous in the film Golden Eye when 007 James Bond made his 7.5 second bungy jump. The world's highest stationary bungee jumping station can just be seen here in the middle of the dam wall.

Great picture from the top of the dam, love the view up the valley. Looks like the water level is a bit low in the lake given the line of white rock.
